Setting another precedence for the executive office the Obama administration on Sunday called Fox News "a wing of the Republican Party."

So far this has served only to escalate the pre-established war of words against the channel, even as observers questioned the wisdom of a White House war on a news organization.

"What I think is fair to say about Fox -- and certainly it's the way we view it -- is that it really is more a wing of the Republican Party," said Anita Dunn, White House communications director, on CNN. "They take their talking points, put them on the air; take their opposition research, put them on the air. And that's fine. But let's not pretend they're a news network the way CNN is."

I am working in Iraq on the main military base and this is what I see and hear...
Our military wants to watch FOX News. It is part of the Armed Forces Network (AFN) as is CNN. In the chow hall it will be mostly on FOX and occasionally on CNN. In ALL the offices you will find FOX on exclusively! What does that tell you about who is telling the stories as they are and not spun to meet some criteria?
I'm not saying this to make anyone mad, just pointing out facts that I see as I am here.

Of course the TV would be on FOX. The war is a means of generating revenue for the major contractors. Who would put the TV on the channel that might question the rational of what’s going on in Iraq? Which contractor do you work for?

There is a major difference between providing a counter point of view and becoming an obstructionist. FOX has crossed that line long ago. The white house has come to recognize this and will treat FOX NEWS as the unruly child it has become. I feel nothing but pity for those who have gotten suck into the sensationalized, negative spin, show biz ploy of FOX news. They have done more harm that they will ever know and all in the name of profit. I wonder how the producers of FOX can sleep at night. There will be a time and place where they will face their demons and it’s not going to be pretty.

This is how clueless Obama & liberals are...our country has young men and women dieing for our country overseas, record unemployment at home, rogue nations building nuclear weapons, and Obama and the White House is starting a war with Fox News. I guess we shouldn't be surprised though, since there is no substance to Obama, his presidency has to be about image.

When you are in business of lying and deceiving the people, any network that exposes the lies would be considered a thorn. President Obama and the staff as well as many liberals have the opportunity to appear on Fox News to debate accusations and offer opposing views, but never do. The opportunity to appear to offer an opposing view is never allowed on NBC and other networks very rarely are they allowed.

FOX will shine a little sunlight on the happenings of today. Deceit prefers the darkness and those so taken in usually wear blindfolds and earmuffs. They wish to avoid the facts because most of the time the truth really hurts. Mushrooms like the dark. They can multiply and grow in the dark and most of them are poison! Not really any different from a true liberal.

Thank you Gary. I was just about to type this. The democratic party has had time after time after time to get on fox news or any of the shows that are put together by Boortz, Cain, Hannity or any of the other conservatives to discuss or disagree and speak their side on different issues. They refuse to do so. They would be fighting a loosing battle and any of the ones mentioned above would ask questions and back them in a corner on national TV and make them look like complete idiots.

I can only wonder how people who bad mouth Fox News so much know what is going on -- unless they are watching it too. Fox has exposed quite a bit about this administration that would never have been known if we counted on the left wing news to report it. I have quite a large distrust of Obama. His close associates and advisors sure don't give me a sense of calm and assurance either. Anyway,there are a lot of news sources out there, and if you don't like Fox --- try changing the station.

According to my sources today at The Heisman Trophy Trust, President Barack Hussein Obama, was given the Heisman Memorial Trophy Award.

This prestigious sports award commonly known as, The Heisman, comes less than a week after President Obama was awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing. The Nobel was given to President Obama predicating 'he do something' in the future to help achieve World Peace.

According to jovial White House press spokesperson, Eize Alyndawg, President Obama trained himself very well expecting to win the Heisman. The POTUS watched Monday Night Football on three consecutive weeks with select members of Congress and many of his raucous Chicago staff.

This difficult television viewing regimen was accomplished by being sandwiched between his White House basketball games and his pensive procrastination regarding the Afghanistan War. "A very tedious task", says Eize Alyndawg, "but the entire World is aware he is a multi-tasker".

The White House will not confirm reports that President Obama expects to win the 2010 Lombardi Trophy by attending the 44th. annual Super Bowl game on February 7, 2010 at Dolphin Stadium in Miami, Florida.

Insiders in Congress report that President Obama will wear the green jacket and be given the trophy at the 2010 Masters Tournament.

The Masters event is scheduled to be held on April 5-11 2010 in Augusta, Georgia. It is reported that President Obama feels since he has done nothing and owns a set of expensive golf clubs given to him by Tiger Woods, he is entitled to The Masters Trophy.

President Obama says he expects to be given more awards in the future.

You might want to brush up on spelling before you go calling people stupid, or an idiot. Or at least try using a spell checker, there are many for free online.

On topic, there is nothing wrong with media political debate, in fact I feel that it is helpful. Although, there is absolutely no need for Obama to really worry about it. There would really be no need for him to worry if the reports of Fox News were false and unfounded.

Laugh all you want folks and criticize either party but if our current Administration is able to shut down any news network, be it liberal or conservative slanted, then who's to say what's next. Both sides of every day America should sit up and take notice regardless of which side of the fence you sit on. For an Administration to have the ability to eliminate one mainstream media outlet who opposes their view is very dangerous to EVERYONE'S basic liberty. When did we forget the old saying that if it looks to good to be true then it usually is?

Blacks and Whites rather harm each other than working together to improve their communities..Meanwhile, others are quietly coming to this country and starting businesses, with our tax dollars with little or no interest to repay....Yet, all I hear is democrat this and republican that or fox is this and cnn is that...none of these people care about the people of this country unless you're spending money with them or their advertisers...right Herald-Gazette? I haven't seen one refreshing story from this small local newspaper which shows everyone, black, white, yellow, mellow...etc working together....I'm only hearing complaints, mostly from the Republican balls..kers, and a few Democrat balls..kers...Get a grip guys and gals and realize both parties are just as worthless as the UGA Mutts are this year!!!! BZZZZ....BZZZZ...Over and out!

If all of this energy and effort of hate could be used in logical statements and helping one another, then the world would change enormously. I dislike anyone who claims to be a journalist (no matter what the network) and then uses their God-given mind for ranting and childish banter. Also, I wish the current group of so-called news journalists be given a lesson on critical-thinking. I have seen too many of them piece together video, audio, and quotes that end up being filled with emotion and have no substance intellectually. Do you watch the news to be informed or do you watch the news to have someone to agree with?

Consider the source. Fox is owned by Rupert Murdoch whose massive worldwide holdings have tabloid leanings and include The Star and The New York Post. Mr. Murdoch's intention is to entertain you with sensational reporting-truth and accuracy being minor requirements. I'm really sick and tired of news reporters' opinions. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could have just one network that simply reports the news rather than manufactures news? CNN was close to that in its early life but now they have also turned to personality based reporting.

Ted Turner just did an interview about the current state of news reporting. It is horrible and full of journalists opinions without any concrete research. He said that he wants to run CNN again and get rid of all the talking heads and report news, not just in the U.S., but World News! God I wish he would buy it back because I can honestly say that I have not watched any u.s. news channel or read any u.s. newspaper to get my news! I haven't bought a newspaper in 15 years! News reporting is just awful in our country now. It feeds too much on sensationalizing stories and focuses too much on negativity..

Solo writes exactly like 'Foxinator T-Raunch'. HIS posts are conspicious by their absence. Is the 'Foxinator' trying to escape scrutiny?

Solo needs someone to help him study and then compare Murdoch with the leader of modern Socialism, George Soros. Murdoch shines in light. Soros skulks and operates in darkness.

It is interesting that Solo mentions FOX and CNN in his pitiful postulation.
FOX NEWS has many excellent Fair and Balanced reporters with its on-air staff. Solo inter-mingles FOX NEWS reporters with the stars of FOX Opinion shows like Beck, Hannity & O'reilly. There is a difference in their broadcasts, but, Tearists are misty eyed and can't discern the difference. Remember, FOX reports...YOU decide!

The current FCC Czar and the Soci-Marxs in the Democrat Congress are directing this country down the road of 'Free Speech Denial' with their Fairness Doctrine. Look it up. READ it!

"Hoke" obama is chauffering America down that bumpy road with a 'white knuckle' grip on the steering wheel and Damian red eyes to guide him.

"Holy Hoke" won't detour until an Anti-666 maneuver forces him off at Exit 2012. The narcisstic Messiah will be jerked from his driver's seat by Common Sense Voting traffic cops. Vroom..vroom...bye...SoLong, Solo!

If the Ex-Mr. Jane Fonda takes back the reins of that dying donkey, CNN, Solo and his band of weeping Tearists will have another nut-job ally!
Ol' "Bi-Polar Ted" will be Back In The Saddle Again. Twice! Yes suh!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! I'm a socialist! That's Ms. Tolley's bird laughing. Mr. Alcars, with all due respect, I understand that you're at the home with your teeth in a cup, but, maybe you may want to get to the activities room and get yourself under control.
Soros is a billionaire socialist? How does that work? Your ability to separate FOX News and FOX Opinion is amazing. Reminds me- "A rose by any other name is still a rose." As for President Obama, most of the free world disagrees with you. Adjust your meds and think about it.

"Mr. Alcars, with all due respect, I understand that you're at the home with your teeth in a cup, but, maybe you may want to get to the activities room and get yourself under control."

Alcars juxtaposition after Ex-Lax, Prep-H & Advil meds adjustment:

Your respectful tone presented in your comments AND your outwardly genuine concern for my physical well-being is 'so' greatly appreciated.
But, Alas!, The Last Days Nursing Home doesn't have an 'activities room' per se. However, there is a small shed attached to the rear wall of our 2-hole outdoor wooden toilet. That reeking room is used sometimes to persuade us recalcitrant residents to get "under control."

One could say the structure qualifies as a quasi "activities room."

Shrill shouting from the lispy lips of our effeminate male night nurse, Peak Abu, mentally coerces us to "get under control". He is a young activist Liberal Tearist nurse in charge of 'night activites' at Last Days.
Peak Abu is well oriented to become an obama Health Czar.

Clarification:
You have penned EGREGIOUS assumptions regarding the status of my teeth. I DO NOT keep "teeth in a cup". No dentrifice needed here!
My sound teeth may be slightly nicotine stained, but, they are in perfectly useable condition... BOTH OF THEM!... So, chomp on that!

I called Moses the parrot. He agreed with me without any laughter. In fact, he was crying! Mose's has hook beaked brilliance, he foresees the "children" of Social Sorosity being led to the precipice of no return by Pied Piper Soros and his Democrat allies. Moses is wise as a FOX.

Soros financially supports ALL Socialist groups and fringe media from his throne as "Shadow Leader" of the Democrat Party. Soros smiles from the shadows of darkness while spreading his minions across our country transforming it into, The United States Of Dystopia.
Social Entrepeuner Soros = Socilaist Soros .

Solo asks: Soros is a billionaire socialist? How does that work?

THG comments space doesn't allow for my extended explanations. You seem to be more intelligent than other local Democrat Tearists, so please enlighten yourself about Soros at this URL.

http://tinyurl.com/2b2yoc

I would never 'copy 'n paste' material as many do on these blogs. PLEASE read the Soros story and then GOOGLE, "is george soros a socialist" and GOOGLE "Open Society Institute." Gripping reading!

Wish we could chat longer and discuss the forthcoming $500B cuts to Medicare, The Fairness Doctrine and obama's Nobel Prize, but it's dinner time. Every Sunday at The Last Days Nursing Home, all of us Vietnam Era vets are served Hungry Man TV dinners while we watch FOX News. Plus, we can have all the Kool Aid we can drink.

I am so relieved, solo! But, if you aren't The Foxinator, Where is he?
I miss his 'copy 'n paste' comments. He is M.I.A. Should we put out an APB? Should we conduct a door-to-door search? Should we put his photo on milk cartons AND photos on Thunderbird bottles & Big 40 oz beer bottles for the Mill Street Mob? Any suggestions?

You shouldn't worry about Mr. Rauch. I've great respect for his postings and have noticed that he doesn't engage in blogger bashing or name calling contests. Am sure that he will appear in the future making intelligent comments on important topics.

I have very little respect for FOX news. When I watch the news I have the tendency to watch the eyes of the news caster. You know the mouth may lie but the eyes tell it all. They say the eyes are the window to the soul. What I see most frequently on FOX is a disingenuous glare as if they don’t believe what they are saying themselves. The commentary is so predictable it’s even lost its entertainment value. Every time they give the news the needle on my BS meter slams to the right so hard I have to send the instrument to the calibrating lab. for repair.

Solo, it appears you are in contact with Mr-R, so I will cease worrying about his welfare. It was kind of you to point out there is another like me on the blogs that "doesn't engage in blogger bashing or name calling contests." We both thank you.

You stated, you were..."sure that he will appear in the future making intelligent comments on important topics." Appear? When?

Wow! When this grand apparitional event occurs, please give advance notice. I need to purchase ISO 1000 Kodak film for my Brownie Hawkeye. Fast film is required when HALOS are to be photographed after one mystically APPEARS.

Plus, I positively don't want to deny myself the opportunity to read those 'intelligent comments on important topics'. No suh.

Enoc,
I am perplexed by your quandry. Is the "lack of respect" directed toward the news content on FOX or the newscasters reading scripts rolling down the Obomo-Prompters?

You will have to forego the lying mouth and 'window to the soul' theory. That phenomena occurs only when there is 'eye-to-eye' personal interaction. You know, like obama did at the Beer Summit with the racist cop and the puny prevaricating perfesser.

Most on-air news readers wear contact lenses. I believe you may be confusing their "glares" with their inability to focus properly on their scripts. Some of them simply have bad eyesight.

What is it with all of the TV newsreaders having crooked necks? None of them sit straight and upright in their chairs except the ladies with big b**bs. It appears that Fox's Bill Hemmer will soon have his ear resting on his shoulder as his head tilts so far to the RIGHT.
All of them need to visit a chiropracter for treatments.

With your new role as a Fox TV Critic, I look forward to your insightful critiques after you enjoy a grand day of FOX TV watching.

If send your BS Meter over to your "old' BBF T-R to recalibrate, he may use a hammer to force the needle back to the LEFT. Ya' think?

Wrong again Alcars. Do you really believe that you belong in the non name calling and non bashing category? Putting yourself in the same category with T. Rauch is a grand stretch of the imagination. Let's see-you said that I am a socialist loser. Perhaps you don't understand the term "name calling". Google it for help. Perhaps you're just not in touch with yourself. And, no, I do not know T. Rauch. My only knowledge of him comes from reading his posts. Now give it a rest would you? You're overloading Enoc's BS meter.

White House spokesperson, Sheeza Skeezer, announced today that S.O.S. Hilary Clinton 'misspoke' about the Belfast Bomb.

Likewise, I am hitching myself to Sheeza Skeezer's 'misspoke wagon', and affirm that I misspoke when I asserted you were a Socialist Loser. Fact Check.org was not able to verify the two word combination should be applicaple to you.

My attorney, Upson Downs, advised that I issue a "misspoke" statement. Therefore, I misspoke by hinting you are a Socialist Loser. I don't have any tangible evidence and should have used "alleged socialist loser". I'm sorry IF I hurt your feelings. Let's you and I be best pals like Enoc and me. In the 'vain' of our award winning President Of Chicago, obama, I wouldn't lie. Honest!

Alcars addendum:
Naah, I don't really believe you are a Socialist or a Loser.

And it was written........ "The White House escalated its offensive against Fox News on Sunday by urging other news organizations to stop "following Fox" and instead join the administration's attempt to marginalize the channel."

Why didn't they just ask the people to join the administration’s communist movement?

Excellent point! The TV series, “Ghost Hunter” is looking for people that can see lost souls. Log on to icanseeu@noB.S.com for an on-line interview. Include your recent printed comment so that they will know that you have the ability to see the unseen.

Please use your abilities and tell me the numbers for the LOTTO this week. I promise I’ll contribute half my winnings to killthefox@whitehouse.bs, a nonprofit organization grown from tiny acorns.

Put a sock in it Solo. Most of all this name calling is all in jest and amounts to nothing more than pushing buttons. If you don't understand that - it means it is all in fun and no hard feelings are meant by it. It you can't handle the heat then stay out of the kitchen.

It is patently obvious you have been exposed to many of my commentaries on various blogs. Your post adeptly reinforces my innocent name calling is provided in a satirical tongue-in-cheek manner sans malice. You win a used Monica cigar!

Your analogy regarding posts being in jest and without hard feelings is 'spot on' where my posts are concerned. My skill with a keyboard is sufficient to give back as good as was received from a blogger. I don't harbor grudges relative to name calling.

Proving my intentions are pure, I issued a "misspoke statement" to Solo after I hurt his feelings by calling him a XXXX(redacted).

I have yet to receive a Solo apology for his egregious claim that
I keep my "teeth in a cup" at my nursing home. Solo lied

Jeez! Had me fooled. Does that mean that all the contributors to this blog aren't serious about their comments? "Nothing more than pushing buttons" When my buttons are pushed, I push back. Have a good day.

Solo, If you are so easily fooled by an old keyboard button pusher, no wonder you are FOOLED and MESMERIZED by that political troupe, 'The Great Obama White House Of TomFoolery and Lies'. After all, obama promised to FUNdamentally change the United States Of America. He is! But, he didn't FOOL me, because, I'm not easliy fooled.
